Before each battle, a roulette board selects **1** of **27** events that may boost your team, sabotage it, empower the opponent, or transform the battlefield. Battles are **3v3 Singles** at **Level 50** in a **Bring 6, Pick 3** format, with your consecutive win streak determining Battle Point payouts and Arcade Star milestones. {% endcolumn %} {% column width="41.666666666666664%" %}

{% endcolumn %} {% endcolumns %} {% hint style="info" %} Nothing in the Arcade permanently changes your Pokémon. Levels are normalized only for the run, and your original held items are returned when it ends. {% endhint %} ## Getting Started 1. **Open the Arcade menu** - Travel to the Battle Arcade NPC at `/warp battlearcade` to open the main menu. 2. **Choose a team source** - Select one of two options: * **Live Party**: brings **6** eligible Pokémon from your current party * **Rental Team**: pick **6** rentals from a random offering of **14** 3. **Spin the roulette** - Before every Game, the Roulette Board selects the event applied to that battle 4. **Battle** - Select **3** of your **6** Pokémon and defeat the NPC Trainer 5. **Decide** - After each win, your team is fully healed and you choose your next move:
OptionDescription
ContinueProceed to the next roulette spin and battle
RestPause the run and store its progress for 3 days
RetireEnd the run and keep all earned rewards
Losing a battle immediately ends the run and locks in all rewards earned up to that point. ## Battle Rules * **3v3 Single Battle**, Bring 6 Pick 3, with all Pokémon normalized to **Level 50** * Your original held items are removed for the run; only roulette-granted items appear in battle * Rental teams are rolled once before the run begins and cannot be swapped mid-run * Opposing Trainers use **3** Pokémon that mirror the tier composition of your own team, with stronger minimum tiers in later Sets * The number of Uber-tier Pokémon on an opposing team can never exceed your own team's count by more than one * Opponent skill increases in later Sets, and Arcade Stars are more skilled than the Trainers around them * Healing, PC, breeding, and flight commands are blocked during a run ## Run Structure * A run lasts up to **7 Sets** of **7** Games each, for a maximum streak of **49** consecutive wins * Completing a Set pays out Battle Points and advances you to the next Set, where stronger item pools and more disruptive events unlock * A sidebar tracks your current Set and Game, win streak, pending event, and your next reward and Arcade Star milestones * Only one run can exist at a time: a rested run must be continued or discarded before starting a new one, and expires after **3 days** * If a battle fails to start or gets stuck, a battle restart is available once per Set; the pending event carries over to the retry * After a loss you can start a new run in **20 minutes**; after completing a full run, in **60 minutes** ## Roulette Board Before every Game, the Roulette Board scrolls through a grid of event spaces. The space it stops on becomes that battle's event. * Events may help you, hinder you, target the opponent, alter the battlefield, or resolve instantly without a battle * An event applies only to the Game it was spun for, and its effects wear off when the battle ends * Side-wide events reapply to each Pokémon as it switches in; weather, terrain, and room effects run their listed durations * The board scrolls faster as your win streak climbs ## Performance Score The Arcade secretly grades every victory on a **0-24** point scale. Fast, clean wins score high; slow or costly wins score low.

The total score determines which target category the next spin favors: | Score | Ally | Foe | Field | Other | | :---: | :--: | :-: | :---: | :---: | | 0-4 | 75% | 10% | 10% | 5% | | 5-10 | 40% | 25% | 30% | 5% | | 11-15 | 30% | 30% | 35% | 5% | | 16-20 | 20% | 35% | 30% | 15% | | 21-24 | 15% | 15% | 40% | 30% | * Low scores strongly bias the next spin toward events that target your side, reaching a **75%** Ally chance at 0-4 points * Foe-targeted events peak at **35%** for scores of 16-20 * Near-perfect scores shift the board toward Field events (**40%**) and Other results (**30%**) * **Other** covers special results such as No Event, Skip Battle, BP Boost, and Swap Teams ## Roulette Events **Positive** events help you, **Negative** events hinder you, and **Chaotic** events can swing either way depending on the matchup. Higher Sets unlock more of the board: events listed with a minimum Set cannot appear before it, and a few only appear in specific Games.

{% hint style="warning" %} Not every item is a prize. The pools deliberately include junk and harmful items, and an item event can backfire on whichever side receives one. {% endhint %} ## Status Immunities Status events respect type and Ability immunities. An immune Pokémon ignores the event, while other eligible Pokémon on the same side can still be affected. | Status | Ability Immunity | Type Immunity | | :-------: | :--------------------: | :-----------: | | Poison | Immunity | Poison, Steel | | Burn | Water Veil | Fire | | Paralysis | Limber | Ground | | Sleep | Insomnia, Vital Spirit | None | | Freeze | Magma Armor | Ice | ## Arcade Stars Deep win streaks are interrupted by an **Arcade Star**, one of the Battle Arcade's boss Trainers: **Dahlia**, **Elesa**, **Guzma**, **Leon**, or **Marley**, selected at random for each encounter. Defeating an Arcade Star earns a soulbound **Commemorative Print** as proof of your victory. | Milestone | Opponent | Reward | | :-------: | :-------------------------: | :------------------------: | | 21st win | Random Arcade Star (Silver) | Silver Commemorative Print | | 49th win | Random Arcade Star (Gold) | Gold Commemorative Print | The Gold Arcade Star is more skilled than the Silver Arcade Star, and defeating it completes the Battle Arcade at a perfect **49**-win streak. Arcade Star victories also progress the **Arcade Battler** badge, found on the Battling page of `/badges`. The badge has **8** phases, requiring **3** to **100** total Arcade Star victories. ## Rewards Each completed Set awards **Battle Points**, scaling with the Set number: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | | ![:battle\_point:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1250586559015686296.webp?size=56)32 | ![:battle\_point:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1250586559015686296.webp?size=56)64 | ![:battle\_point:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1250586559015686296.webp?size=56)96 | ![:battle\_point:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1250586559015686296.webp?size=56)128 | ![:battle\_point:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1250586559015686296.webp?size=56)160 | ![:battle\_point:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1250586559015686296.webp?size=56)192 | ![:battle\_point:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1250586559015686296.webp?size=56)224 | * A full 49-win run earns ![:battle\_point:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1250586559015686296.webp?size=56)**896**, plus any BP Boost multipliers landed along the way * The **BP Boost** roulette event multiplies your next Set reward by **3x** * Rewards are locked in the moment you lose or retire; nothing earned is ever lost ## FAQ **Do I keep Pokémon or items granted by the roulette?** No. Roulette-granted items, swapped teams, and every other event effect are temporary. Your own Pokémon, levels, and held items are restored when the run ends. **What happens if I disconnect?** Mid-battle, you have **3 minutes** to reconnect before the run ends. If a run is interrupted in another way (such as a server restart), it can be resumed from the Arcade menu. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
